Shilpa Shetty Questioned for 4.5 Hours by EoW in ₹60 Crore Business Scam Case

Shilpa Shetty was questioned for over four hours by Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing in a Rs 60 crore fraud case involving alleged fund diversion from Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.

  • After nearly four and a half hours of questioning, Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing recorded Shilpa Shetty's statement at her Mumbai residence, including transaction details from her advertising company.
  • Following Kothari's complaint, a case was registered at Juhu police station on August 14, and investigations into the Rs 60 crore fraud began.
  • Investigators have traced nearly 25 crore in transactions involving four actresses, including Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia, while the EOW says Raj Kundra allegedly diverted about Rs 15 crore into a company account reportedly owned by Shilpa Shetty.
  • A Look-Out Circular was issued to prevent the couple leaving the country, and the Bombay High Court recently denied their travel request; statements from five individuals, including Raj Kundra, have been recorded, with the EOW planning more summons in the coming weeks.
  • The couple's lawyers deny wrongdoing and will cooperate, citing Shetty's past resignation and earlier tribunal actions involving Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.
